I for one look at some "art", and I use that word loosely, a particular chap who lived in Antibes and has a museum there jumps instantly to mind, and wonder why all the noise and fuss is made about the absolute CRAP he made and called art.<br /><br />At least his CRAP is behind closed doors and we are not FORCED to look upon it as we are here in the USA. ( more so than in the UK i fear)<br /><br />Advertising of kinds falls into the same catagory in my view.<br /><br />Money.. that's what drives it.. evil MONEY !<br /><br />lets hope the makers of spray paint capitalise on these peoples efforts.. they should at least develop a water based, soluble "TAG" paint.Philhttp://www.rc-international-speedways.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809146912677894496.post-36534193448438240072009-08-22T06:31:53.262+01:002009-08-22T06:31:53.262+01:00The inarticulate graffiti rant has a certain power...The inarticulate graffiti rant has a certain power to make people feel threatened in their own environment, and part of that power is its anonymity. Walking alone through an underpass, you wonder whether tonight all this spite and rage will be vented on you. This is why I don't like graffiti.

In fact, I think thought might be the key (for me). In the train tunnels near Liverpool Street, the tag "MAZAA" is repeated in fat letters. Like I care who Mazaa is. It's just some kid with nothing better to do practising their own signature. But on one of the windows of a nearby building is a very simple smiley face which - even though I could have painted it - always cheers me up.<br />Kapgaf: Genius runs a fine line with Decrepitude.. it's just so hard to tell which is which...Kabbalah Rookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12737692859267786264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809146912677894496.post-87461696061411860492009-08-21T15:38:10.423+01:002009-08-21T15:38:10.423+01:00Kapgaf & Alan: They do say all great art is bo...Kapgaf & Alan: They do say all great art is borne of adversity and pain.

My pondering took me along the road "has there ever been a radical artist who hasn't eventually sold out?" Leaving aside the ones who were prevented from selling out by dropping dead, I'm not sure if I could come up with a very long list whichever way you tend to interpret "artist". It needs to be the subject of a Blog post sometime.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809146912677894496.post-82250104425408935892009-08-21T11:20:53.082+01:002009-08-21T11:20:53.082+01:00Hanging should be brought back but only for queue-...Hanging should be brought back but only for queue-jumpers.
